i don't like teh idea of destroying cars for any reason.
street racing is plain old stupid. it is a meaningless way to risk your life and the lives of others.
if they think that destroying cars(something cali has gotten very good at over the years) will keep people from racing they are sorely mistaken. so an IROC gets crushed, that same kid will pay up his fines and get another one.
it comes down to the fact that the law and enforcement are way more reactive than proactive. if more time was taken to educate and offer alternatives(street legal drags at any of cali's tracks) then we could all avoid teh whoel situation.
i know we will never stop everyone from street racing, but it can be reduced greatly if the authority figures acteed like adults instead of bullies out for a photo opp.
later
